Imaging techniques play a main role in heart failure (HF) diagnosis, assessment
of aetiology and treatment guidance. Echocardiography is the method of choice for
its availability, cost and it provides most of the information required for the
management and follow up of HF patients. Other non-invasive cardiac imaging
modalities, such as cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), nuclear
imaging-positron emission tomography (PET) and single-photon emission computed
tomography (SPECT) and computed tomography (CT) could provide additional
aetiological, prognostic and therapeutic information, especially in selected
populations. This article reviews current indications and possible future
applications of imaging modalities to improve the management of HF patients.
